December 25, 2019 - CHRIST YOUR SAVIOR IS BORN

Day 359 (Today’s Bible readings: Isaiah 52:7-10; Psalm 2; Hebrews 1:1-6; John 1:1-18)

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11 KJV)

MERRY CHRISTMAS! What a glorious day this is. 

Christ your Savior is born. And this changes everything!

♬ Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!

♬ No more let sins and sorrows grow nor thorns infest the ground; 
        He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found.

♬ Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King. 
Gloria in excelsis Deo;  Gloria in excelsis Deo. 

♬ Mild He leaves His throne on high, born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth; born to give them second birth.
  Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King!"

♬ God's Son for a gift has been sent you this night.  
        To be your Redeemer, your Joy and Delight.

Be near me, Lord Jesus! I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And take us to heaven to live with Thee there. Amen.

“See” you in church this morning (9:00 am at St. Paul’s-Brown Deer).
